The Clash-London Calling
So many people seem to think there is a C chord in London Calling and there
simply is not. It is the bass that plays the C (Which is the 5th instead of
the root) while the guitar is playing the F. Once you start banging out the
chords your ears should sort everything out. Please message me if you have
any questions - Gharms85
This is the main rhythm guitar that is loudest in the mix.
